Xtreme, I'm pretty sure I follow you. The lack of a winch on your wifes quad gives you nowhere to pull from, to extract her from a stuck. Am I there? If so, I think you can use a nylon tow strap and slide it behind the two bars that come up the front and end up at the rack (between your headlights). Using a nylon strap will keep from scratching the bars, and will disperse the pressure to avoid bending them. I think she would have to be pretty buried to hurt them. Hope this helps.
